“When it comes to personalised books for kids, Wonderbly is leading the way. My favourite was so hard to choose. My kids have had hours of fun with Wonderbly’s ‘Where Are You?’ books, and they’re also great fun for adults too. When it comes to shopping for the perfect keepsake, however, my favourite has to be ‘Your Treasure of Nursery Rhymes’.
“Nursery rhymes are so important for young children. They help develop an understanding of the English language, offering simple repetitive phrases that young toddlers and children are able to repeat. Nursery rhymes help your child’s brain separate words into syllables so they can hear similarities between words that rhyme or start with the same sounds. Learning nursery rhymes ultimately helps children to learn to read.”
Ellie Thompson, Editor, My Baba.
Brilliant for children aged 0-3 years old, Wonderbly’s Your Treasury of Nursery Rhymes includes 30 classic songs and stories featuring your child on every page.
A charming personalised keepsake book for any child, this treasury is one they will love. The book is packed full of nursery rhymes, and all incorporate your child’s name.
